It's one of those things where you should try to maximize what you have at any given moment,

right? So to me, it's one of those things where we don't know how long all of this is going to

last. So why not make the most out of it while you can? Maybe you'll have to work a little

harder for the next couple of years. But so what? Like, you might set yourself out for better.

Welcome to the Rich Summers Report where we talk real estate, business, and wealth building,

all while keeping it real. No fluff, no BS. I hope that you enjoy the show.

All right, guys, welcome to another episode of The Report. Today, I got someone who's in the family right now, married to my niece. Now they have a daughter together, and it's a professional pickleball player. It's doing all things. Pick a ball. I got DJ Young. What's up, DJ? It's good on, brother. How you doing doing? Yeah, dude. Appreciate you coming on, man, for a second time now.

And congrats on the newborn, Layton, baby Layton. Thank you, yeah. Yep. How old is Layton now? She's going to be 16 months pretty soon. And then we have another one cooking in the oven. So we're going to have number two in September. Congratulations, man. That's exciting. We got to get Baby Layton out on the new boat, man.

Yeah, we do. Yes. You said she was doing some swim Congratulations, man. That's exciting. We got to get Baby Layton out on the new boat, man.

Yeah, we do.

Yes.

You said she was doing some swim lessons too. She's doing some swimming lessons yesterday for the first time. And then today she went to the pickleball court. So she's training just from year and a half training. Yeah, absolutely. Dude, that's awesome, man. So regarding the pickleball game, what is going on today with the pickleball game

in terms of what you're currently doing?

Just give us a snapshot for the listeners that didn't listen to the first one, what you

currently do in pickleball.

Yeah, for sure.

Me personally, I play professional pickleball for the UPA, which is the PPA and MOP

tour.

So PPA is more individually oriented and MOP is team oriented.

I am now ranked 32 in the world, I believe, for men's doubles. I play all three events, which is men's

doubles, mixed doubles and singles. And then as far as MLP goes, Major League Pickable, I play for the Bay Area breakers,

which are located in the Bay Area and the home club is in Alameda, I believe. And yeah, so as of right now, I play professionally full time. I also run my own podcast called Conversations with DJ, season two coming out soon. Which I was a guest on? Yeah, which you were a guest on in the season one. You're a good host, bro. Yeah, thank you, brother. Appreciate it. You as well. And then I also recently started my own paddle company called American Pickable League, you know, its own in Chicago. We have all the warehouse out there. And then, yeah, we just make custom paddles and professional paddles as well. So I'm doing a bunch of different stuff. Dude, I love it, man. What is the difference between MLP and PPA?
